Shutdown and power off on a multi-processor machine

Compile a kernel with apm support and add the following to your lilo.conf:

append="apm=power-off"

---------------------------------

I too am having trouble powering off and rebooting an SMP machine. It is a Tyan Tiger 230. I have tried to report this a few times with little to no response. The last kernel that worked for me in this respect was 2.4.6-ac2. I have tried linus' and alan's kernels both with no success. I have tried configuring all kernel with APM soft-power off, real-mode power off (I enable power-off even though the rest of APM is broken on SMP), ACPI (multiple setups), and nothing at all. None of these kernel/configuration combos allow me to shutdown or reboot my machine. I would like to be able to and I know the board still works because Windows 2000/XP (even though I hate using them) both manage to shutdown/reboot the machine properly. I have everything I can think of copiled in statically instead of as modules and also have PNPBIOS enable in the kernel and the BIOS. Any help would be appreciated.
